' Application filed July 11, 1919.

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, CHARLES S. Fannrss, a citizen of the United States, residino at De Land, in the county of Volusia, Satate of Florida, have invented a new and useful Safety-Razor; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to safety razors and has for its object to provide a safety razor head, which may be moved to various angles for shaving, that is using a razor that is known as a hoe razor or if so desired so positioning the razor head in relation to the handle so that the razor can be used in the form of a straight blade razor.

A further object is to pivotally mount the razor head in a bifurcation of the handle, said head being frictionally held within said bifurcation and to provide means whereby the frictional holding of the head may be adjusted.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of the razor,

Fig. 2 is a side elevation.

AFig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through the razor head.

Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a handle, and 2 the razor head. The upper end of the handle member 1 is bifurcated as at 3 thereby forming arms 4, the inner surfaces of said arms being concaved as at 5 and extending transversely through said arms is an adjusting and limiting screw 6. By means of adjusting screw 6 the outward springing of the arms 4 may be limited. Disposedbetween the arms 4 and in engagement with the concave surfaces 5 is a cylindrical member 7. said cylindrical member being pivoted on the pins 8, which pins have bearings in the arms 4. y

The blade head 2 comprises the plate 9 Specicaton of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 310,233.

and the plate 10, said plate 10 being provided with downwardly extending lugs 11 which pass through apertures 12 in the plate 9, and between said plates 9 and 10 the razor blade 13 is disposed. The plate 10 has a centrally disposed and downwardly eX- tending threaded lug 14, which lug is threaded into the cylindrical member 7 as at 15. lt will be seen that the concave surfacesl 5 being in engagement with the cylindrical member 7, that the razor head will be held in position as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 by the spring action ofthe arms 4. It will also be noted that by swinging the razor head in the direction of the arrows a or b, Fig. 2, that the razor head will be held in various positions at right angles to the razor handle, thereby allowing the adjusting of the razor head to throw the blade therein at any desired angle. However, by slight unserewing of the lug 14 from the member 7 it will be seen that the razor head may be adjusted at various angles to its pivotal point on the lugs 8, thereby allowing various angular positions relative to the pivotal point of the razor head to be attained. When it is desired to use the razor as a straight blade razor is used, the head is pivoted or unscrewed until it assumes a horizontal position at right angles to the position shown in the drawings, then one end of the razor head is pivoted downwardly until one of the lugs 11 enters the aperture 11a in the handle, it will be seen that when the razor head is in this position that the razor may be used as a straight razor, and that by engagement of the lug 11 in the aperture 11a, the head will be prevented from pivoting upon the lug 14.

The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is 1. A safety razor comprising a handle, one end of said handle being provided with a bifurcation, a razor carrying head having a depending lug, said depending lug being disposed between the arms formed by the bifurcation and pivoted in said arms, the razor head being adjustable to a right angle to the pivotal point of the depending lug, and lugs carried by the razor head, said lugs being adapted to enter an aperture in the handle of the razor when said razor holder head is folded against said handle.

2. A safety razor comprising a handle, one end of said handle being provided with a bifurcation, a razor head, said razor head being threaded into a lug, said lug being disposed between the arms formed by the bifurcation and pivoted in said arms, the razor head being provided with a lug, an apenture in the handle disposed below the bifurcation, said aperture being adapted to Ieceive the lng carried by the razor head when a partial turn is imparted to the razor head on the pivoted lug and the razor head tilted two subscribing witnesses.
